Lifecycle — Last Buy, No Official Successor
Hirose has designated the HSC-PH0.9-(60) as Last Buy. Buyers should evaluate a full BOM review for a transition to an active Hirose HSC-series variant or an equivalent simplex connector from another manufacturer.
Cable Fit and Termination Notes
This plug is dimensioned for a 0.9mm cable jacket diameter. The fiber core (9.5µm/50µm) and cladding (125µm) are standard for single-mode and multimode terminations. The PC polished ferrule mates with HSC ferrules. No special tooling is listed in the spec — standard HSC-series crimp and polish tooling applies. The blue boot and strain relief are included as shown, so no separate boot order is needed.
